U. S. LARGE CENTS
No.
197 1793 Sheldon 3. Chain America. Good-6, faintly lustrous grayish olive-steel
on a finely pitted and porous planchet. Evenly worn, the only real defect a

gray steel, quite pleasing to the eye. However, a glass reveals finely
porous and flaking surfaces and a small ground-down area opposite the

on a large display board, flannel backed, with a water -based glue. The
coins were removed with care and for the most part the glue was dis-
solved. They do show the area of non-toning where the glue was; however,
the coins are really quite nice.

CHARLOTTE MINT GOLD DOLLARS
A Complete Set of Charlotte Mint
Gold Coins Including Duplicates
The following collection comprises a complete set of the Charlotte
Mint gold coins including the varieties. Not since March 17, 1979, when
we sold the collection of the Mint Museum of Charlotte, North Carolina
have we been privileged to offer such a large group of these very
interesting “Provisional Mint” coins. It will no doubt be many years
before we again have the opportunity to present to the collecting frater-
nity a group that would even come close to this splendid offering.
CHARLOTTE MINT GOLD DOLLARS
TYPE I
1849 - 1853
591 i849'C’ Closed wreath. Extremely Fine, sharply struck, slightly prooflike.
Some minor circulation marks.
592 i850'C’ Fine, some nicks on the face. Buffed to a mirror-like brilliancy.
Scarce.
Lot No. 593
593 1851'C’ About Uncirculated, sharply impressed. A small nick above the
head. Fully lustrous with some prooflike surface.
594 i851'C’ Another. Extremely Fine, sharply struck and choice. Partially
prooflike.
595 i851'C’ A third. Extremely Fine. Virtually as choice as the preceding.
Lot No. 596
596 1852'C’ Extremely Fine and a very lovely example. Splendid overall appear-
ance. Very scarce.
— 57 —
CHARLOTTE MINT GOLD DOLLARS
Lot No. 597
597 1853'C’ The obverse flatly struck as usual, the reverse bold. Extremely Fine
from point of wear. A lovely coin.
TYPE II
1855
598 1855'C’ A remarkable example of an 1855'C’ gold dollar. Usually found on
poor planchets with a resulting loss of definition, this specimen is About
Uncirculated and overall nicely struck, with the typical weakness at
"LL” and "8”. The head frosty and slightly prooflike. Rarely is this coin
ever seen so nice. Well worth a premium bid!
599 1855'C’ Another. Struck on the typically poor planchet from clashed dies.
The central reverse tells the story. The coin is actually About Uncirculat-
ed or perhaps Mint State but its overall appearance is Very Fine. Really a
splendid coin!
TYPE III
1857 - 1859
600 1857'C’ Extremely Fine but as usual struck on a slightly imperfect planchet.
Slight flake on the edge. Overall a very nice example of this scarce date.
601 1859'C’ Extremely Fine. The obverse as usual is flatly struck, the reverse
sharp. When one considers how poor these planchets usually are, this
coin is really choice.
602 1859'C’ Another. Fully Very Fine, with light coppery toning.
— 58 —
CHARLOTTE MINT $2.50 GOLD
CHARLOTTE MINT QUARTER EAGLES ($2.50 GOLD)
CLASSIC HEAD
1838 - 1839
603 1838'C’ Double cut mintmark as usual. An early strike from perfect obverse
dies, (the later strikes have a small depression in the cheek). An out-
standing specimen with full frosty mint bloom. About Uncirculated and
very choice. Certainly one of the finest to reach the market in years.
604 1838'C’ Another lovely specimen. This is the later variety with the small
depression in the cheek (obviously a piece of metal adhered to the obverse
die). There are also other similar areas on the reverse. Extremely Fine.
The obverse by far nicer than the reverse.
605 1839'C’ over 38. Extremely Fine, sharply struck in greenish-yellow gold.
Some prooflike surface in the devices.
606 1839'C’ over 38. Another. Very Fine, even wear. Nicely struck.
607 1839'C’ over 38. A third. Very Fine but formerly mounted on the reverse
showing considerable traces of solder. The obverse is splendid.
CORONET TYPE
1840 - 1860
608 1840'C’ Extremely Fine, sharply struck in greenish-yellow gold. A twin to
the specimen we sold in our Charlotte Mint Museum sale in March 1979.
609 1840'C’ Another. The obverse Very Fine and choice, the reverse Fine with
some scratches about "UN” of UNITED.
— 59
CHARLOTTE MINT $2.50 GOLD
610 1841'C’ Extremely Fine and very choice, perhaps a grade better. Typical
uneven strike but overall a splendid example of this scarce date. Rarely is
this coin seen with so much mint lustre.
611 1841'C’ Another. Extremely Fine, somewhat more evenly struck. Rich russet
toning with traces of lustre in the devices.
612 1842’C’ Strictly Very Fine and choice, faint trace of lustre. An underrated
coin, fully equal to or better than the plate coin in David Akers’ excellent
book on U. S. Quarter Eagles.
VERY RARE 1843’C’ SMALL DATE QUARTER EAGLE
Lot No. 613
613 1843'C’ Small date. The usual die crack from the rims to the tip of
the bust and the diagnostic die bulge in the same area. About
Uncirculated, wholly prooflike and lustrous, a few tiny circula-
tion marks in the field. Undoubtedly one of the finest known.
To the best of our recollection the last time we sold a comparable
specimen was at our R. L. Miles, Jr. sale in 1968!
614 1843'C’ Large date. Recut date and mintmark. Brilliant Uncirculated, full
frosty lustre with a faint suggestion of a prooflike surface. Superb!
615 1843'C’ Large date. Another (same variety). Extremely Fine and choice,
deep gold with russet-iridescent toning.
— 60 —
CHARLOTTE MINT $2.50 GOLD
616 1843'C’ Large date. A third (same variety). Strictly Very Fine, the obverse
stronger than the reverse.
617 1843'C’ Large date. A fourth example. Very Fine, the reverse stronger than
the previous specimen.
618 1844'C’ Extremely Fine and lustrous. Unfortunately some scratches above
the eagle’s head. Very scarce.
619 1844'C’ Another. Very Fine, orange and iridescent toning.
SPLENDID 1846'C’ QUARTER EAGLE
620 1846'C’ About Uncirculated and wholly prooflike. Struck from rusted dies,
mostly apparent on the obverse. A superb strike, with a few light
circulation marks. A very rare date, close in rarity to the 1843'C’ Small
date. A perfect match for that coin.
621 1847'C’ Extremely Fine, pale iridescent toning on the reverse.
622 1847'C’ Another. Very Fine, even wear, no defects.
623
1848'C’ Very Fine and choice, considerable lustre in the protected portions.
Pale russet toning. Really a rather scarce coin.
624 1848'C’ Another example. Very Fine. Perhaps a trifle better in grade but
with a dig between the "84” and the truncation.
625 1849'C’ A strong Very Fine, virtually in the Extremely Fine category. Pale
russet toning. Scarce.
626 1850'C’ Very Fine, a tiny nick behind the eagle’s head. The obverse stronger
than the reverse.
627
1851'C’ Extremely Fine and a beauty. Sharply struck, with some prooflike
surface.
— 61 —
CHARLOTTE MINT $2.50 GOLD
628 1851'C’ Another example. Extremely Fine but with planchet adjustment in
the central portion.
629 1852'C’ Extremely Fine and by far an above average strike. (Akers indicates
"always seen weakly struck.”) Lustrous and very attractive.
630 1852'C’ Another. Extremely Fine, with some tiny nicks on the obverse wire
edge. Lovely iridescent toning. Strike similar to the previous specimen.
631 1854'C’ Extremely Fine and a lovely example of this rare date. Pale russet
toning.
632 1854'C’ Another. Extremely Fine, small obverse nick above the head. Mot-
tled reverse toning.
633 1855'C’ Extremely Fine. The obverse stronger than the reverse, the central
portion weakly struck. Light orange and russet toning.
634 1856'C’ Usual die defect from the chin to the second star. Extremely Fine,
lustrous with pale orange toning. Rare.
635 1856'C’ Another. With the defect as listed above. (The defect can be seen on
the Akers’ plate coin.) Extremely Fine and lustrous but weakly struck
from blunted dies.
636 1858'C’ About Uncirculated. Considerable frosty lustre, rich pale russet
toning. Rarely offered in this lovely condition.
— 62 —
CHARLOTTE MINT $2.50, $5.00 GOLD
637 1858'C’ Another specimen. Fully Extremely Fine with some prooflike sur-
face.
638 1860'C’ About Uncirculated, sharply struck with some prooflike surface.
Russet and iridescent toning. Small planchet flake on the reverse edge.
639 1860'C’ Another example. Extremely Fine, rich coppery toning. A small
planchet flake behind the head.
CHARLOTTE MINT HALF EAGLES ($5.00 GOLD)
CLASSIC HEAD
1838
640 1838'C’ The only year of this type struck at the Charlotte Mint. Very Fine,
even wear although the obverse is stronger than the reverse.
641 1838'C’ Another. A strong Very Fine but numerous circulation marks. Still
quite attractive.
CORONET TYPE
1839-1861
Lot No.
642
642 1839'C’ Extremely Fine and a splendid example of this rare one-year-only
type. Considerable mint lustre and a sharp strike.
63 —
CHARLOTTE MINT $5.00 GOLD
643 1840'C’ The mintmark on the reverse as are all to follow. All are Broad Mill.
Extremely Fine, bluntly struck in the central obverse. The reverse
however is superb and sharply struck.
644 1840'C’ Another. Fine, no defects or impairments, just even wear overall.
Lot No. 645
645 1841'C’ Extremely Fine and very choice. Prooflike surface in the devices.
EXCEEDINGLY RARE
1842'C’ SMALL DATE HALF EAGLE
Lot No. 646
646 1842'C’ Small date. A nice Very Fine specimen. Even wear with
traces of prooflike surface in the devices. Pale coppery toning.
Virtually a twin to the first specimen in our Charlotte Mint
Museum sale. The rarest Charlotte Mint half eagle and probably
the rarest collectible Charlotte Mint gold coin.
Lot No.
647
647 1842'C’ Large date. Extremely Fine. A needle-sharp strike, with prooflike
surface. A rare coin in this condition, it sometimes takes an undeserved
"backseat” to the 1842'C’ Small date.
— 64 —
CHARLOTTE MINT $5.00 GOLD
648 1843'C’ Extremely Fine, russet and iridescent. A small old scrape before the
nose.
649 1843'C’ Another. Very Fine, even wear, no defects or damage.
Lot No. 650
650 1844'C’ Extremely Fine. Struck on the typical rough planchet that usually
plagues Charlotte Mint coins. Very scarce.
" Lot No. 651
651 1846'C’ Extremely Fine. A frosty example and really very nice for this
crudely struck date. One of the rarer half eagles of the entire group.
652 1847'C’ Extremely Fine, rich coppery and iridescent toning. A very attrac-
tive coin and fairly scarce in this condition.
653 1847'C’ Another. Strictly Very Fine, light circulation marks.
654 1848'C’ Extremely Fine, prooflike and lustrous. Sharply struck and fairly
scarce.
655 1849'C’ Extremely Fine, sharply struck. Lovely coppery and russet toning.
656 1849'C’ Another. Very Fine with a small obverse edge bruise.
657 1850'C’ Extremely Fine. A very sharp impression including the mintmark.
658 1850'C’ Another. Very Fine and choice. This also has the mintmark sharply
struck.
— 65 —
CHARLOTTE MINT $5.00 GOLD
659 1851'C’ About Uncirculated, sharply struck, prooflike in the devices. Deep
greenish-yellow gold. A most difficult coin to obtain in this condition.
660 1852'C’ Extremely Fine, small edge nick opposite the last star. Frosty lustre
and slightly prooflike.
661 1852'C’ Another example. A strong Very Fine, nearly Extremely Fine.
662 1853'C’ Strictly Fine, lightly polished. Scarce.
Lot No. 663
663 1854'C’ Extremely Fine and very choice. The mintmark sharply struck
(often found barely legible). A rare coin in splendid condition.
Lot No. 664
664 1855'C’ About Uncirculated, blazing mint lustre and faintly prooflike. This
specimen comes close to making the Condition Census for the date.
665 1856'C’ Extremely Fine and a top-drawer specimen. Delicate russet toning.
By far better than the coin illustrated in Akers’ book.
— 66
CHARLOTTE MINT $5.00 GOLD
666 1857'C’ Extremely Fine, delicate coppery toning about its periphery. Scarce.
667 1858'C’ Extremely Fine, light iridescent toning.
668 1858'C’ Another example. Very Fine but a 'Z’ is scratched in the field before
the nose.
No.
669 1859'C’ Extremely Fine or perhaps better. The reverse struck from poor and
rusted dies. This coin however must be an early strike because it still is
fairly sharp. One of the better examples extant.
670 1860'C’ About Uncirculated. The reverse from the same die as 1859. The
coin is actually just a hairsbreadth from Mint State. This prooflike
example is one of the nicest half eagles in this entire offering.
671 1860'C’ Another example. Reverse of 1859. Strictly Very Fine and choice.
Light coppery toning.
672 1860'C’ A third specimen. Reverse of 1859. Very Fine with a noticeable rim
nick opposite the third star.
RARE 1861'C’ HALF EAGLE
No.
673 1861'C’ Very Fine, even wear obverse and reverse. Of the 6,879 struck
supposedly 887 were coined under the authority of the Confederacy. A
rare coin in a nice state of preservation.
